I agree, I just did a rebuild of a Terramaster NAS (The software it comes with sucks!!) I installed Proxmox on a new USB added 16gigs of RAM, and a 1TB Nvme drive installed proxmox on it, and then installed Xpenology on it. Works like a charm, so in addition to my real Synology, I have an Xpenology on my BBS machine network, which handles daily backups of all the VM's and Proxmox handles weekly Image backups of all the VM's. The backup software in Proxmox is outstanding!! Saved my butt a few times, My door server which was supposed to be backing up daily wasn't!! I had no backups except for an 2 week old Image from Proxmox, ran that it replaced the VM and I was back in business in about 10 minutes!
